Me: 'Exactly.'

Sister: 'How can you compare? They serve different purposes and happen at different stages.'

Me: 'Exactly! The same applies to Gate. When people say Gate is tough, they usually mean it’s tough for PSUs. Gate questions might be easier, but the competition is fierce due to limited seats.'

Should I get into any menial job without any thinking? I am just a BA pass and belong to the middle class.
